This very short film captures the sights and sounds of the Blitz, offering a powerful glimpse into life during wartime.

Teaching Ideas

• Play the soundtrack only and ask the children to imagine what they might see.
  • How would they feel hearing this while sitting in the darkness of their home?
• Use still images from the film to inspire setting descriptions. Encourage the use of sensory language to describe the scenes – sights, sounds, smells and emotions.
